Please forgive my posting on the broader topic of Mermaid... The Mermaid package has gotten much bigger recently. Compare mermaid.min.js across a sampling of major releases:
All the new features are really cool, and maybe this is "fine" when mermaid itself is the purpose of the website (like this submission), but it's a bigger burden when mermaid is a value-add for generic markdown documentation: every visitor has to download and execute 3+MB of js just to view simple diagrams, or worse even when there are no diagrams on that page at all.
Is there a plan to reduce the required bundle size for viewers and users that only use a small subset of mermaid's wide feature set?
